Thanks for the 2 cents. We have "real" winter where I live / drive. I remember putting 5w-30 in our mercedes and in some of our fleet trucks before the 0w oil and the sky never fell. (And our winter all 4 months of it has gone from -5 to 0 in CT to -20 in places I drove to in NE) I was just...

Is the top # as important as the bottom? The 5w-40 vs. 5w-30 etc? I was just curious there is so much mealy mouth nonsense about these grades online that I had to ask. Thanks.

This is a question. I have a 2018 Chevrolet Suburban (5.3L Flex -- Fleet Truck) and a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 (also a 5.3L Flex). I drive both of these vehicles often from Hartford, CT, to Cleveland, OH, and up to Portland ME and Fort Kent/Caribou Maine at least once every month. I often tow a...

That's a great idea; can you show me a link to such a valve? Thank you, Don

No, I'm not commercial but I have acres of dead ash trees and logs to split. And the splitter runs pretty much all day and day after until the rounds are done. I know the large tank will help, the oil will cool much better than the clownishly small 5-7 gallon axle tank. Until I build the new...

Howdy all, I have a Dirty Hands log splitter. Bought it new a long, long time ago. Engine crapped out, got a new one from Harbor Freight, that crapped out just recently. As such, we replaced the engine with a 22hp and a 28 gpm pump that we had. We blew up the 22-ton cylinder (4x1.75x24) likely...
